But nautilus still isn't starting. I have a new error on the console though : Eel-WARNING **: GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have a configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit) Ok, fine... but a 'ps waux' doesn't show any gconfd anymore. On the other hand, my open files are still growing : -- geraud@whisper:/home/geraud --[111]# fstat | wc -l 1241 -- geraud@whisper:/home/geraud --[112]# fstat | grep oafd | wc -l 252 -- geraud@whisper:/home/geraud --[113]# fstat | grep nautilus | wc -l 726 Now, about that TCP networking, I may have a suggestion, I checked the changes on the x11XFree86-4 port and here's what I saw : 2001-10-27 05:18:10 jmz Patch startx so that X is started with the "-nolisten tcp" by default and add a "-listen_tcp" option to run X in non-secure mode. Could this have anything to do with the 'unreachable server'? Once again I would like to thank you for the time I'm making you waste with my dumb questions.
